Are

for two for Valentine's Day? Then you've come to the
right place. Our ambition is to offer you, from the comfort of

evening.

Legend has it that the holiday
became Valentine's Day after a priest named Valentine. Valentine
was a priest in Rome at the time Christianity was a new religion.
The Emperor at that time, Claudius II, ordered the Roman soldiers
not to marry or become engaged. Claudius believed that as married
men, his soldiers would want to stay home with their families
rather than fight his wars.

Valentine defied the Emperor's decree and secretly married the
young couples. He was eventually arrested, imprisoned, and put to
death. After his death, Valentine was named a saint. As Rome
became more Christian, the priests moved the spring holiday from
the 15th of February to the 14th - Valentine's Day.
